Hey, that's my line.

She did say she's glad we're getting along.

We're not. For the record.
freezesme: (through the smoke)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's going to wear off for you one day.

She may just be gunning for a threesome.
peskycurse: (8.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
My appeal? That mean I still have some?

Wait. Don't answer that. And Dru can gun all she likes, she's not getting one. At least not one involving me.
freezesme: (Cause where else can I turn?)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You are annoying thaf way.

Is he a good kisser?
peskycurse: (1.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

Do you really want to know?
freezesme: (My skin should crack and peel)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I mean, I guess I want it to have been bad, but given what happened because of it, it might as well have been worth it.
peskycurse: (2.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
No kiss could be worth it.
freezesme: (and it's black)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think you were thinking that while doing it.
peskycurse: (8.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I wasn't.

He brings out the worst in me. The man I was. I got goaded into a power game and in the moment it felt good.
freezesme: (Cause where else can I turn?)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Kissing is about power now?

I must be doing it wrong.
peskycurse: (1.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It never was with you.
freezesme: (and it freezes me)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Was that what was missing?
peskycurse: (12.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No. God, no.

Buffy, he is not better than you. In any way.
freezesme: (or melt away)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why? It makes no sense.

Maybe you are lying to yourself.
peskycurse: (1.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Not about how I feel about you.

This is really hard to condense into text messages, you know. Can I call you?

[ As soon as he hits the "call" button, Angel regrets pretty much everything down to the moment his parents decided to make a baby in the first place.

Hearing Buffy's voice makes him freeze up completely, and he comes pretty damn close to just hanging up again, but somehow he manages to soldier through.
]

Uh. Hi.
freezesme: (Default)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hi."

Great start. She heard Angel, sure that he would be able to hear her heart beating, even through the phone.

"Hi."

Eventually she would manage something else.
peskycurse: (8.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Just one word, and his throat was closing up and his heart was racing.

She has the loveliest voice in the whole world. He was sure of it.

"So. Where were we?"
freezesme: (she calls to me)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Think we were pretty much stuck on the 'hi' part of the conversation." Buffy looked at herself in the mirror as she paced up and down in her room, changing her expression to a frown when she caught herself smiling her Angel smile. Damn it.

"I asked you if Spike is a good kisser."
peskycurse: (4.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right."

Oh boy. Why was he even doing this to himself?

Because she was Buffy and he would do anything to talk to her, including causing himself intense emotional pain. Maybe Dru had a point about his relationship to pain...

"I guess I'd have to give him points for technique."

Why did he say that???

"Tastes a lot like cigarettes though so the fact that he lunged at me to prove that he doesn't taste bad was pretty much a bust and why am I still talking?"
freezesme: (My skin should crack and peel)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-26 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh."

No, that wasn't exactly fun to listen to.

"Don't worry about it. Frankly, I don't think there is anything you could have said that I'd have wanted to hear. But at least now I know I was right about never wanting to date a smoker."

She sighed, rustling as she shook her head. "He's obsessed with you."
peskycurse: (12.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-26 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"He was a good kid and I fucked him up, so I guess it kind of makes sense."

Angel scratched his head, mostly to have something to do with the hand that wasn't holding the phone.

"He was trying to prove something with the whole kissing thing, and for some reason he just really speaks to my inner asshole so I had to go and prove something right back. I know that doesn't make it better but... It really wasn't about preferring him over you. There is no comparison. Even if there is some sort of... I don't know, attraction..."

He had to pause after saying that just to shake off the intense feeling of discomfort that saying that brought him...

"You were always enough. I know I've blown it, I know you're with someone else and I really hope you're happy but I... I really need you to know that."
freezesme: (I guess it's all the same)

[personal profile] freezesme 2018-07-27 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"You know, maybe you should deal with that. That. Attraction." Buffy sighed, then huffed to get a stray strand of her hair out of her face. "Although I really think you can do better than Spike. But what I mean is... I don't know. You could go to one of those meetings Willow goes to some time. Meet people you don't have a sordid history with and that aren't in a BDSM cult."

That just seemed like a smart thing to avoid, all things considered. "Thanks. You were enough too."

More than enough. "I'm with Riley." She knew he knew that.
peskycurse: (3.)

[personal profile] peskycurse 2018-07-27 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know. I don't like him."

Hopefully she could hear the slight smile in his voice. He wasn't trying to be a dick, even if he was being very honest.

"And I don't need meetings to figure out that I'm not straight, if that's what you were trying to get at."
